I think so too. I'm almost done with... Middlemarch. =) It's a discursive novel, very confident in its size, it strolls, and Eliot intrudes her voice in the text maybe a little too often, but the girlfriend suggests that Eliot's voice is really the voice of ... Middlemarch. The point of the novel seems to be, don't count too much on money or marriage. I think a beastie or two would liven things up. Zounds! The alzabo ate Ladislaw! It is really a lovely story -- slow, wise, smart. After awhile I don't mind that Eliot is showing off so much, since she does so with self-aware humor.
